Youtube examples of 3 genres

ACTION: PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN

The opening shot of Pirates of the Caribbean was an extreme  long shot of the boat in the middle of the sea. Whilst zooming in on the boat non-diegetic music is being played which is eerie and deep. This creates a mysterious, tense atmosphere. Other non-diegetic sounds such as creaking and squeaking are played to create the sense of an old boat sailing out to sea for many years. This sets the tone of a dark and dreary atmosphere at the beginning of the film. A zooming shot is then shown, zooming in on a little girl singing, this is diegetic sound. Over the shoulder shots are also used when a conversation begins between two pirates on the boat. Meise en Scene is used in this scene as period clothing is worn by the characters; the colours of royal reds symbolise the importance and wealth of the pirates who are in control.

Sleeping Beauty: Fantasy

Sleeping beauty is a fairy tale film which falls into fantasy.
It has conventions of good vs evil, & princes and princesses. It opens up as a story book which makes it very child friendly.
It also includes magic, with the evil lady who puts a curse on sleeping beauty & the three fairy's.
It is also an rescue as the prince has too give sleeping beauty the stereotypical kiss before midnight.

Wallace and Gromit : Comedy

The opening shot of Wallace and Gromit was a long shot which introduced the characters. There was non diegetic music being played which was the well known wallace and gromit theme tune. This music then turns scary when the title appears on the screen. This music then sets the scene. Over the shoulder shots were used when a conversation was taking place between the characters. More non diegetic music was used when there were more dramatic parts. This was emphasised by close ups of the characters faces to show their reactions and emotions. Meise en scene props were used such as dog toys for one of the characters.
